What is abandonment rate?

Abandonment rate is the percentage of calls where the customer hangs up before speaking with an agent. It is the most direct sign of customer frustration on the phone channel.

The formula: Abandonment rate = (Abandoned calls / Total incoming calls) x 100

A customer who hangs up is often a lost customer. Studies show that 30 to 50% of abandoned callers never call back. That means lost sales or a customer who goes to a competitor.
